If you are looking for great gift ideas to give the movie or TV show fan in your life, it can be tempting to buy anything with their favourite film or show on. However, chances are, they will already have a collection of memorabilia you will be adding to, and you don't want to be wasting your money buying a redundant gift that they already have.

Know your movie lover

Before you even start looking for gifts, you need to know your movie lover a little better. Some of your best friends may be very different to your loved one, they might enjoy more than just one or two genres, or they might not be that interested in things you are into. What you will need is a starting point, so once you have that, you will start looking for items that fit the person's interests.

You will probably find that there are many items that they are interested in. Once you have a list of films, characters, and movies, you need to do a little research and then ask for ideas.

What should you include in your movie lover gift basket?

The first thing you need to do is decide what movie you are basing your gift on. Do they love obscure independent films or recent blockbusters? Is it an adult fan of classic movies or a comic book fan? Then you need to decide what you want to include in your basket. This is where you can decide what items will work for your movie lover. 

Become a detective and have a little snoop around items they use regularly or ask close family members or friends to check out items they already have. You can sometimes find unique personalised gifts based on the movie or TV show. If you really want to go all out, then why not buy a ticket to a location the movie was filmed at or at a themed attraction, such as visiting Disney or Universal Studios for Harry Potter fans.

Gifts on a Budget

Many people don’t have a lot of money to spend on things and may only have a limited amount of money to spend on the people they love. However, you do not want to go into a movie junkie’s house and give them a piece of junk to remind them of a movie. So here are some money-saving gifts for movie lovers. Consider taking them to a reshowing of their favourite movie or a surprised patrick meme toy for Spongebob fans that can act as a fun novelty gift and shows you wanted to give them something they will enjoy. 

Alternatively, skins for laptops, phone cases, or even socks and underwear are great budget gifts to choose from and will be useful to have. 

Regardless of what you choose, there is always going to be an abundance of memorabilia for a wide variety of films to choose from.
